What should be the lighting of large ceilings
It should start with the simplest - with large ceilings, a width of about 100 square meters or more. And here the most important thing is to take into account the height of the ceiling. If it is more than 3 meters, it is recommended to use lighting panels that cover a much larger area and have a reflector. Such a design can be controlled by the console, have an integrated switch of the luminescence power( 8 - 12 Volts).
In most cases, such ceiling lights use LED elements that are both economical and have a high efficiency factor.
In addition, their advantages:
- High frequency of luminescence( more than 10 thousand hertz), which is especially important, For example, in office premises.
- Savings. A 10-Watt LED element is equivalent to an incandescent lamp of 100 - 120 watts and even higher.
- Durability. Resource LED ceiling lighting - about 30-60 thousand hours( in addition, the manufacturer gives a guarantee).
- Very wide range of fixtures. There are rotary, flat, special children's, hanging, curly, crystal, lamps, which are covered with a bubble and so on. This list can be continued indefinitely.
And in rooms with high ceilings, the main light source is not necessarily made. That is, you can do only lamps( including hidden ones).
Ceiling luminaires: variants
Luminaires on the ceiling can be used as both main and additional lighting, regardless of the size of the room in which they are installed. They can be used even if the room has different levels of suspended ceilings( for example, with a gypsum cardboard box).
It's also interesting that street lights can be used, for example, if it's a ceiling, Attic or large balcony. Here, lighting under the net depends only on the imagination of the designer or the owner of the house.
Ceiling lamps, in turn, can be:
- square;
- vertical;
- horizontal;
- acrylic;
- long( composed of tape);
- are plastic;
- glass;
- crystal;
- combined;
- with integrated power supply;
- for slanted ceilings;
- with remote control;
- are rectangular;
- with multi-color illumination;
- searchlight type( optimal in the sales area).
And each of them can be used without restrictions. That is, the crystal can be hung not only in the living room or in the bedroom, but also in the kitchen, in the hallway, in the children's room - if only all this would harmonize with the already created interior.
Although the standard design rules still need to be considered. For example, the white ceiling is best to attach point-like transparent recessed fixtures. On a multi-level - multi-color stripes or just a hidden backlight, adding all this basic lighting( chandelier).
Option: luminous ceiling
Luminous ceiling - a variation with lamps that are mounted on the wall and pointing upwards. The surface itself is covered with a glossy film and reflects down the light that falls on it. Get a decorative lighting, which creates the same overhead effect of a glowing ceiling. The same can be done if it is multi-level, where there is a "floating" box. In this case, hidden illumination is made in special cornice-niches. The beam is directed exactly under the ceiling.
This effect can be created if the ceiling is covered with the following materials:
- polycarbonate;
- PVC;
- glossy photo printing;
- gypsum;
- GVL;
- plastic;
- wood or plastic panels;
- ceiling tiles( including ceramic).
By the way, Cesal produces ready-made constructions for "floating ceiling".It's about full sets, which include the cornice, and lighting, and wiring, and all the necessary mounting fasteners. True, all this is not cheap.
The color of the ceiling lighting: the role of
What role does the color of the ceiling lighting play?It is with his help that the so-called light interior is created, where an emphasis is placed on some decorative elements, somewhere an eclipse is made( for example, from the side of the fireplace where there will be more than enough natural light).But you need to consider the purpose of the room.
For example, brown and light blue light are best for a study, beige - the best in the bedroom, living room, children's room. If the ceiling is gray, then the optimal color of the backlight is warm orange or yellow. The proposed solution and options are not binding and may change at the discretion of the designer. The color and light in the room play an important part.
In order to be able to switch the color of lighting at all, it is recommended to install specialized LED lamps. Ready-made sets of these, by the way, are sold by many Chinese concerns at a fairly low price. Such illuminators will not be enough for basic lighting, but as an additional - just right.
Switching the backlight color can be performed:
- with a separate inducted switch;
- remote control;
- using a smartphone( if the luminaire is equipped with a Bluetooth receiver);
- through small switches on the lamps themselves( suitable only for home).
Interior and ceiling lighting
Naturally, the choice of lighting largely depends on the interior. And first of all it is necessary to draw up a plan or a drawing, along which the lighting elements will be located. The most important thing is to distribute them in such a way that the entire area of the room receives the same amount of light. The accent can be done on one side, but it's best to mount it with additional light adjustment.
The way in which the lighting system will be installed, depending on the interior, is largely dependent on furniture, not finishing in the room.
For example, if it contains some corner chairs or moldings, a side simple shelf, on which valuable books are, then it is better to stir local lights, or even a wall( and not necessarily on the ceiling).
The main thing to adhere to is that:
- if it is a rest room, then the lighting should not be too bright, with a warm tint;
- if this is a study, then the lighting should also be bright, but with a cool shade;
- if it is a question of a children's room, here it is necessary to do adjustable illumination or with separate switching-off.
That is, directly on the interior, attention is paid in the last place.
Lighting: light blue ceiling
On a light blue ceiling, the ideal choice is the technology of oncoming dim lighting. This is done as follows: on the perimeter of the room or only from two sides mounted directional lamps that shine on each other. In the center of the room, the projector can be placed, which will be illuminated by the ceiling. With its help, you can create a wave effect, or simply project an image. Such an unusual variation of lighting will be especially relevant, for example, in the children's room.
So, the light blue ceiling is illuminated by:
- dim light;
- only with a bright white beam;
- it is desirable to add to the lamps the main lighting, such as the same projector or chandelier.
What are square light fixtures on the ceiling
If the ceiling in the room is a flat square, then it is better to illuminate the LED panel with a diffuser. And you can use the old fashioned fluorescent lamps with decorative flasks - cheap and economical. However, it should be remembered that if the center of the room is illuminated by a large chandelier, then it is not worthwhile to supplement this with a dim illumination.
And there are separate square spotlights. Most often, each of these elements - mortise and optimally suitable for suspended ceilings.
is a simple design( suitable for interiors withMinimalism);
If white ceiling, fixtures which to choose is better
And here on a white ceiling it is possible to mount fixtures of almost any type and capacity. It is better to give preference to LED, but even those using incandescent lamps are relevant!Here you can and do with hidden illumination from the ceiling cornices. Unlike those rooms where color illumination is used, in such a ceiling does not affect the design.
. When choosing a white ceiling lamp, remember that:
- too bright;
- the arrangement of the lighting elements can be any;
- If guide lights are used, it is better to do so that the light from them hits the walls, not the floor.
What determines the technology for lighting the ceiling
In fact, there is no specific technology for lighting the ceiling. It depends on many parameters, ranging from finishing in the room, ending with the height of the ceilings, a combination of a multi-level arrangement of false ceilings.
The color is chosen according to the type of destination of the room, although you should not forget about your tastes. If you like blue light - let it be in the same bedroom, regardless of other parameters.
It is possible to sum up:
- variations of lamps and ceiling lighting - a huge amount;
- LED backlight - the best;
- if a glossy ceiling cover is used - it must be played in lighting;
- should be guided by your own taste.
If you trust the arrangement of lighting for designers, you should prepare a preliminary plan in advance, how bright it will be in each room and who will live there.

Nowadays, the production of clarifiers has gained momentum. It will not be difficult to mount modern, beautiful lighting. There is a wide choice of recessed lighting fixtures in black ceilings. Even in an inclined design, you can pick up a round spotlight. To install it, you need to drill so-called dots or make cuts in plasterboard sheets. A thin sheet to take for the installation of such luminaires is highly discouraged.
